The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Jia Daoshi, if I hadn't met you, it would be hard to imagine that you could have transformed an ordinary villager into such a peerless master!"

Ji Bingyan asked with a look of amazement, "How did you do that?"

Jia Daoshi chuckled: "It's simple, all you need is money!"

"What is the power of money?" Ji Bingyan was bewildered.

“This monetary power is simply money,” Jia Daoshi explained.

"So, does that mean I also have the power of money?" Ji Bingyan shook her head. "But I just can't cultivate such outstanding Blood Droplets."

"Don't worry about that," Jia Daoshi comforted him. "From now on, having me as your husband is the same as having superpowers."

Upon hearing this, Ji Bingyan blushed!

Strictly speaking, Jia Daoshi was indeed every woman's dream lover—strong, handsome, and good at creating drama!

Could it be that I really took advantage of someone else?

"Alright, aren't we going to Mantuo Manor? Let's go!"

Jia Daoshi put his arm around Ji Bingyan's slender waist and landed directly on the ground.

Soon, the two boarded the Seven-Body-Breaking Steed and headed towards Mantuo Manor.

Similarly, because of the limited space inside the Seven Brothels, Ji Bingyan could only sit in Jia Daoshi's lap.

……

at the same time.

The entire martial arts world was in an uproar!

The major taverns in the cities where information exchanged among the martial arts world were now packed with people!

The restaurant is destined to stay open all night tonight.

Yanzhou City.

Tianxiang Tower!

The largest restaurant in Yanzhou!

Since the great battle at Jiajiazhuang, all sorts of martial arts figures have retreated here.

But similarly, they showed no intention of leaving!

The reason they were unwilling to leave was naturally because of what Jia Daoshi possessed!

At this moment, heroes and valiant men from all walks of life have gathered at Tianxiang Tower!

Of course, Jia Daoshi's old friends were also among them.

For example, Sun Xingyu, the holy maiden of the Moon Worship Cult; Ouyang Ling, the romantic hero of the martial arts world; Feng Shengxue of the Demon Sword Palace, and so on...

"Have you heard? The Longwu Kingdom has also started assembling a fleet, preparing to head north to sea!"

"I remember that Emperor Longwu, Zhan Yunqian, also possessed a key to the Great Qing Martial God Temple!"

"That's right, the Great Jing Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty joined forces to wipe out the Great Qing Kingdom, all for the sake of this Martial God Temple!"

"The Empress of Great Jing is assembling a fleet and hiring crew members. Aren't you all going to sign up?"

"Those who signed up were all wandering swordsmen, with no status, no background, and no strength! They rushed over as soon as the imperial court threw them a bone! Why don't we, the prestigious sects, build our own fleets?"

"I've heard that people from Daowu King Valley, Yun Gu Leifeng, and Liu Shu Tian Que have all cooperated with the Empress. The Empress even managed to get people from the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves involved!"

"It seems we need to hurry! Have you heard the secret? Empress Wuxin has already betrothed Princess Taiping to Jia Daoshi in order to win him over!"

"What? Did Jia Daoshi agree?"

"How could he possibly refuse? Princess Taiping is the most beautiful woman in the royal family. Who wouldn't be mesmerized by her figure? Jia Daoshi is a notorious womanizer; how could he possibly resist?"

"If we're going to set sail immediately, there's no time to prepare a fleet! It seems we still have to choose to cooperate with the imperial court!"

"..."

After some discussion, the group of martial arts practitioners set off and rushed to Moon City.

That's the departure dock for the Grand View fleet!

Everyone wanted to get on the ship before departure!

……

Mantuo Villa.

hall!

After the last battle with the Sun Moon Cult, this place has been renovated and restored to its original state!

Since that incident, Jia Daoshi has never seen Empress Ji Wuxin again.

This time, the hall was brightly lit.

It was already full of people.

For this sea voyage, Ji Wuxin mobilized all the experts he could from the court.

One after another, powerful figures sat in the hall!

Among them, Hai Dafu, the eunuch, was prominently featured, standing quietly beside Ji Wuxin!

Besides Hai Dafu, there were about ten other people!

"I wonder what Zhan Yunqian is up to. He will definitely accompany us on this voyage to the Martial God Temple." The speaker was a handsome young man in black armor, tall and muscular. He was Yuchi Zhenjin, the commander of the inner guards of the Great Jing Dynasty, and one of the ten greatest experts of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Normally, these experts would occasionally carry out secret missions for the imperial court, so they would gather in various parts of the Great Jing Dynasty. This time, however, they were able to come together in one place.

However, no one knows whether they are inside the palace or not, so assassins usually don't dare to easily break into the Great Jing Palace.

With them around, the safety of the Great Jing Dynasty is guaranteed.

Of course, these people are different from those in the martial arts world. They have been government officials for generations, so they are absolutely loyal to the imperial court!

"I wonder how those two keys from the Martial God Temple are doing. Princess has been gone for so long and hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened along the way?" This time, the speaker was a burly man, as tall as an iron tower, whose appearance and build were comparable to Jia Hu's. However, he seemed more shrewd, and a sharp glint would occasionally flash in his tiger-like eyes. This man was named Yuan Zhen, and he was also one of the top ten experts of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Actually, those who came here today are the top ten experts of the Great Jing Dynasty, and they are the people who are preparing to set sail this time!

"With Bingyan's abilities, she should arrive soon. Once she returns, she will naturally know what happened."

This time, the one who spoke was a heroic woman named Fei Yan. She sat next to Yu Chi Zhen Jin and was Yu Chi Zhen Jin's partner when carrying out missions. At the same time, she was also the deputy commander of the Blood Droplets and Ji Bing Yan's deputy.

"Gentlemen, the reason I called you here today is not just about the Martial God Temple in Daqing, but to prepare you all in advance," Ji Wuxin said calmly. "From now on, all troops, government offices, and military forces in Dajing, including the capital, must be prepared for a level one battle!"

A bald, burly man frowned: "Your Majesty, what do you mean? Could there be a rebel army?"

Ji Wuxin said, "So far, Mingheying has not made any moves. On the other hand, the Kushan Empire has also begun to make moves on the side of the First Prince Wu Ce."

Ji Wuxin's words caused everyone present to frown.

Ming Heying, a pillar of the Great Jing Dynasty and the Grand Marshal of the First Army, has long been stationed in the southwest of Great Jing to defend against the attacks of the barbarians.

However, after the late emperor's death, Ming Heying never entered the capital again and always maintained his own military power!

Not long ago, Ming Heying quelled the rebellion of the Green Turban Army, but she did not send troops!

Ostensibly, he was to guard against the barbarians, but everyone knew that the barbarians to the south had long been defeated and subdued by him.

That's just an excuse.

As for the northwestern border guarded by the eldest prince, the Kushan Empire is indeed a big problem!
